Now that the camera has invaded our lives, designing a product that turns its back on the camera to enable a different relationship to task resolution is but remarkable !
Will customers see the point? It is by far not systematically necessary to see each other constantly. Especially if you want to focus on the task
The question remains: what do you do when you want to see each other, if only to ensure that communication is going well? If this point could be answered within Orbital, this platform would be an outstanding tool !

Yes, that's right, video will be coming very soon! Feel free to follow along with our roadmap here: https://orbital.chat/public-roadmap/
I bought a T4, everything is great, except the bearable small glitches that would be fixed soon I am sure, AND the biggest problem is no CNAME and Appsumo's name is fixed on the Galaxy card. I hope the developer / author will consider client would like to have their own branding in this kind of things.

We're so thankful to our users for the requests, ideas, and suggestions. Keep them coming! 👏
Looks like a good opportunity for communities to connect without using ZOOM or overpriced platforms. Will be a shining star five taco product when the Cname and white label option is available.
The issues: 1. Audio Space issue, in one room maybe 10 people can get in to be able to be visible. Open space your circle sound is limited.
2. Privacy issue, cant lock, cant limit spaces, everyone can see EVERYTHING. Any embed, notes, links, any tool, or single feature can be seen everywhere without controlling them no matter of putting they or who can see them. (for me it mean all the tools are useless) The issue also everyone can put where ever they want, your space will look like a huge junk pile after a while.
3. Tools: Sticky note, text size no control or responsive with the note size. The board tool looks like a third-party tool that I need to sign, and also only a few features. (very basic) Embed tool, not every site works, and their colors change via the Theme set. Meet tool, you can not set up, need to do it over and over. (no option for multi-account) Upload tool, cant control what type of files. (also guest can upload what ever)
The "location" has the option for "has separate audio zone" but has size limits. What if I want to make a big meeting room or showroom for 50-100 people?
The same issue for your own audio circle limits voice/hearing if you doing it in an open space.
And the voice volume change when you go far from the source, I can understand that but not effective for UX. is a virtue space for improving UX!
The guest comes in and can see everything, what if it is my client and I dont want him to see what I am sharing with my board or notes or anything ...
And why does everyone needs to see everyone's notes or whatever everywhere, for now, you have the control to delete everything even other users' placements on the space. Later you will need to ask them to delete the note from the middle of the screen... do you understand what I mean... no space/room/area limitation. or privacy to see/hide the control. Everyone can put or do anywhere whatever and everyone will see it.
No privacy or any kind of control, HUGE ISSUE, for now, I can't do anything besides using the chat and voice. (for me is just wait or to refund)
The roadmap has a long long list of basic features, no clue for EST.
If this is your concept to make a limitation (size/shape) border with a circle and everything is in the "open" I dont see any kind of use for me.
Each "location" is limited with circle size and shape. (limit the option of use with this virtual space.
Guest dont have any limitations besides time, and their names can be Guest... You invite 10, if no one put their name you need to ask them..."WHO ARE YOU"
Guest can see all the features when are they logging why? they are not users... Need to create onboarding for them or to have any basis of control.
This tool is far from being finished, we can just invest our money here and hope those features will come and the company will survive in the market...

Hello! Thanks very much for being so thorough in your review, it really helps us to know what users value.
Privacy and control is a big theme in our upcoming roadmap. Full control and customisation is an important part of the overall USP that we plan to bring to users. Based on feedback from the AppSumo community, we’ve made some recent improvements to user permissions, but there’s much more to come.
We completely understand that users want timelines for feature releases, and we hope to be able to offer something like that in the near future. We are a small - but growing - team and we only want to make promises we can keep. That being said, we will be keeping the public roadmap up to date and user requests like these will definitely be processed and worked into the product as we go.
I’d love to learn more about your use case, and how you intend or hope to use Orbital, so we can take this into account during our future feature developments. Please feel free to email ashley@orbital.chat directly if you’d like to share more!
Although I wasn't completely clear on how this worked at first, I went ahead and bought it anyway.
After messing around for a while I am pretty impressed with how this all works. It's definitely a bit different from some of the competitors and it's a screaming deal for what you are getting.
Right now it's only audio meetings (which is actually better in many ways) but Video Meetings are next up in the Roadmap along with Cname.
I had a long talk with the founder in chat and I must say I was impressed with the desire for feedback and responsiveness to suggestions.
This is a great app for a community feel for either a company or a small social group.
4 stars for today but 5 stars for the coming roadmap and where I think Orbital will be in 6 months. Buying for the future!

Great product but lack of considerations
I bought a T4, everything is great, except the bearable small glitches that would be fixed soon I am sure, AND the biggest problem is no CNAME and Appsumo's name is fixed on the Galaxy card.
